Jack-in-the-Box

Nothing Delights a Young Child like a Jack-in-the-Box

Sure, flashy high-tech toys are fun and entertaining, but we have yet to find one that can light up a young child's face like a musical jack-in-the-box. There is something about turning the handle on our classic tin box, its merry rendition of "Pop Goes The Weasel" playing, and the plush, happy-go-lucky jester popping up on cue that still amuses even us adults. Jester is 100% polyester. Imported. Box measures 6x6½x5½". Ages 18 months and up.

Toddlers still squeal with delight at the classic musical Jack-in-the-Box.

A Child's Wish
My 4 year old great grandson saw a Jack in the Box on television and had his heart set on one for Christmas. He put in his order to Santa. The whole family searched the usual stores but nothing.
I had gotten a catalog in the mail from Vermont Country Store and because of other 'old fashioned' items listed I looked online there it was!
I ordered it just days before Christmas and decided not to pay extra for immediate delivery. As it turned out it was delivered just after Christmas when I was to babysit. When he came in and saw an unwrapped package I told him Santa delivered it to me because I'm as old as he, we're old friends. Grandson is delighted and plays it over and over.

Something to Remember
I gave the jack-in-the-box to my 1+ great-granddaughter.
I remember this toy from when my son received his and I love it. I believe Lily loved it just as much, especially learning how to make it pop up.

excellent toys
I have been purchasing most of my grand daughters toys from Vermont Country Store since she was born. These toys are quality made - just as I remember them when I was buying them for my son's in the 70's and 80's. I cannot tell any difference and the way she handles them is harder than they did and they are taking it. Great job - just wish they had more in their line as I have purchased most of all for 3 years and under.

Gift for Great-Grand Baby
I love Jock-in-the Box so I've made sure that that my children, grand-children and now great-grand baby have one. When Vermont Country Store put it on sale, I jumped at it! Entertaining without batteries!

New Grandchild=Old-Fashioned Toys
This year I bought new toys from Vermont Country Store---they were Old Fashioned toys which I had originally bought nearly fifty years ago for my own children, then twenty-five years ago for my first round of grandchildren and now for the youngest grandchild.
They never go out of style and the baby loves them. Thanks for staying young, with Old-Fashioned toys !
